Accessorize right this winter. Here's what's in vogue.

1 All-metal jewellery:

The all-metal jewellery trend is rather new, if we exclude traditional jewellery made of precious metals. These can look pretty with your dark-coloured winter wardrobe. Metal jewellery that’s available now is much lighter in weight, though large in size. You can opt for structured, angular and irregular shapes.

2 Strong motifs:

This trend is for those who dare enough to mix elements. Snakes, elephants, flowers, birds, bugs, leaves and coins are some of the most popular motifs. Your craft is required in combining these pieces in an original way in order to create certain mood of your outfit.

3 Layered necklaces:

They are as hot as ever, and have become more elaborate yet sophisticated now. To wear such jewellery you’ll have to choose your clothes instead of choosing jewellery for the outfit. Make sure that you do not team the layered necklace with a shimmering outfit.

4 Square bangles:

It’s definitely the new jewellery trend for winters that needs special attention from fashionistas. It’s innovative, and that means it will stay with us for a few seasons. Hence, investing in square bangles is a wise decision. You can also wear their contemporary versions on top of the woollen sleeves for a style statement.

5 Retro-inspired rings:

Oversized rings are one of the hottest trends for some seasons now. They make a trendy statement piece and are pretty affordable. Worn as the only jewellery piece, a big ring can instantly lift your look. Go for unique motifs or designs to create your own statement.
